I own a Sony KDF-50WE655 I recently purchase a Monster HTS3600 w/ clean power. I was hoping this would help with my pixilated picture issue. Along with the new surge protector I bought a new TV stand to accommodate all of my video equipment. I also had my electrician wire me a dedicated outlet for my entertainment center. I live on the second floor of a Duplex My sat. Dish is at the rear of the house, and my Ent. center is at the front (about 70ft. or so of cable run) I should mentioned that I yet to upgrade my dish to HD (soon don't worry). It is a very old house with lots of new wiring, Romex running this way and that.
And I am aware that it can cause RF noise in a cables signal if the cable is run to close the live wire. So how close is too close, I was told that they can cross at 90-degree angle but can they be next to each other. I tried to be a cautious as possible when running the cable and the Romex. I did however run (or should I say DirecTV did) the cable up through a heating duct. Along side "not inside like cable" I did run the power for my outlet. Then when I set up the new TV stand I tried my best, but wasn't always able to, run video and power as far apart as possible. So let me cut to the chase, after all is said and done running both Sat. cables (TiVo) through the Monster Coax. in filter and out to Sat. receiver using high quality 3ft sections of RF cable I have now a worse picture. There is a pixilated hue some times that seems to move around a bit, if that makes sense. I have noticed that some of the settings in the TV menu, like noise filter and BN filter help but seems to worsen other areas of the picture.
Is it worth it to have a professional come in a tune it in for me. I have troubles with DVD picture too some times. Could it be possible that I am picking up electrical noise? Why did it get worse I haven't tried bypassing the filter of the cables to see if it is the culprit of if I need higher quality cables, or am I too close to some power lines.
Help....Please....!
